5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant read, 15 Feb 2006

"ian21052" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Hijack (Paperback)

Have been reading military fact and fiction for a few years, and have to say, this guy realy puts together a readable believable story, and gets you hooked from page one, not too much military jargon to baffle, but enough to let you know he knows whta hes talking about,
great read and will definatly buy more from this guy

Lesley Moore "lesley073" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Hijack (Paperback)

I think Duncan Falconer has to be a better writer than Andy McNab. When you read one of Duncan's books, you know you are in for a good and exciting read. And he hasn't dissappointed with Hijack. It's always difficult to put his books down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant second novel!!!, 20 Oct 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Hijack (Paperback)

Could not put it down. Characters were unique, fascinating, sympathetic and the story booms along at a great pace. Brilliant the way he describes real events, sensitive political and military subjects without taking sides. And almost unnerving how he creates the most dangerous people with attractive and almost forgiving qualities, a technique he used in his last book, The Hostage. Looking forward to the next one. Keep it up, Falconer!

Good compelling reading, I was unsure at first as it wasn't really my type of book. It was very well written & the author obviously knew his stuff!

Well worth a read.
